Remembrance SUNDAY??? I Always Believed; and Still Do; the Official Beginning or the Remembrance Ceremony???= the Eleventh Hour, the Eleventh Day, Eleventh Month


While we all should--must not ever FORGET, the ATROCITIES, the DEATH the DESTRUCTION, the DEPRIVATION, the CHAOS, the FUTILITY, the GREED, the NEEDLESS LOSS, the SACRIFICE, the SUFFERING; we must also REMEMBER.  Remembrance day is NOT JUST ABOUT FALLEN MILITARY—REMEMBRANCE DAY is about ALL SOLDIERS; all VETERANS, all the NAKED CHILDREN—all those who sacrifice,suffer, AND often DIE because of man’s stupidity. 
Forty years ago, June 8, 1972, an Associated Press photographer, Nick Ut, was shooting photos outside of Trang Bang village, South Vietnam, when South Vietnamese planes accidentally dropped napalm bombs on Trang Bang, which had been occupied by North Vietnamese troops. The children from left to right are: Phan Thanh Tam, younger brother of Kim Phuc, who lost an eye, Phan Thanh Phouc, youngest brother of Kim Phuc, Kim Phuc, and Kim's cousins Ho Van Bon, and Ho Thi Ting. Behind them are soldiers of the Vietnam Army 25th Division, June 8, 1972. (Nick Ut/AP Photo)
In Gander, Newfoundland, a young Vietnamese woman disembarked from a plane refuelling from Moscow to Cuba and asked for asylum in Canada. Her name is Kim Phuc and she was the girl on the famous 1972 photograph that brought the world's attention to the horrors of the war in Vietnam. Today she is in her thirties and mother of a baby boy named Huan. She met her husband Bui Huy Toan when they were both studying in Cuba. Today they live in Toronto and have become Canadian citizens.

 HONOUR the soldiers; ALL THE SOLDIERS. REMEMBER THE CAUSES.  WHY they were and are where they are.
